Cleveland Browns:
Cleveland Browns decline to tag any of their free agents
As expected, the Cleveland Browns declined to use the franchise tag or transition tag on any of their impending free agents before the NFL mandated deadline of 4 p.m. The Browns still hold exclusive negotiation rights with their free agents, most notably right tackle Mitchell Schwartz, wide receiver Travis Benjamin and safety Tashaun Gipson, but if they can’t work out a new deal before the league year begins on March 9 and free agency opens, they run the risk of losing another batch of free agents.
